>To be real, spices don't go "bad" the way that milk goes "bad"—that years-old thing of cumin isn't going to kill you. But the sad fact is that spices lose flavor over time, and you want your spice game to be as strong as it possibly can be; that means having the spices in your cabinet at their maximum potential, full of flavor, and ready to liven up any other ingredient they come in contact with. To do that, you need to make sure the spices in your pantry are as fresh as possible, and buy whole—as in, not ground—spices whenever possible.
>Once you purchase spices, they will lose flavor (whether or not they’re ground). You shouldn’t keep ground spices for more than three months and whole spices for more than eight to ten.

This image can't be real. The fuck is this? That aside, I feel like "breakfast sandwich machines" of any capacity are like wheelchairs in a sense. I have legs and can walk, so I dont need one. But someone who doesn't have legs would probably enjoy one. So, it's useful for a specific demographic, but I'd never own one. It also sends the message that the owner is cooking-impaired just like a wheelchair signals a different kind of impairment. For a while, it was like a posh thing to own one but it never stuck. Probably because people realized that if you need some sort of aide to make a sandwich or quesadilla(panini gets a pass here) and you aren't actually handicapped physically or mentally, then you just look stupid. Not to everyone,no, but to the majority, yes. Like a person in a wheelchair who doesn't need it, but thinks it's cool to be in one.

Been chef for 5 years. Always mix my own because it gives me more control over flavor or if I need to adjust for guests who don't like spicy things etc. But I really don't see anything wrong with buying premade if you like it that way. Don't fucking get me started about garlic salt, though. Anons keep bitching about too salty, not enough garlic or too strong. Just use salt and garlic.

Unfortunately, most Americans think they want a big oven, because they think they'll be baking big batches of cookies all the time, and most of the standard range spaces fit an inconveniently sized oven which is built to be the same size as a useable household stovetop.

Not like they're inherently stupid; they want to do better, they just don't know what better is and are hoping that buying a new gizmo will actually make them a better cook without putting in some learning time.
You just know they'll be trying a new recipe they found on Pinterest, and it will look and taste wrong.

And yes i put mayo on the english muffin and undercook the egg so it's a big jizzy sunday morning breakfast sandy sloppa. What do you eat for breakfast on a sunday? Probably some dry buckwheat pancakes and your boyfriend's ass

Me and my GF moved in with another couple a few month ago. They had a handful of different cutting boards, all minuscule, all plastic, and all insanely warped. The worst part is the knife set, all of them aren't serrated, but their edge is wavy, and they're marginally sharper then a butter knife. Didn't even own a honing steel.
At least they had some decent pots and pans.

It's nice for reheating soups. If I'm eating by myself, and have a pot of leftover soup, I'd rather just microwave a bowl of soup then reheat the whole fucking pot and then serve it to myself, wait for it to cool off, and then put it in the fridge.

wood can go in the dishwasher if you don't care a ton about it. I don't get why people don't wash wooden stuff in the dishwasher more often. Try it, see what happens, unless you blast it in steam clean it comes out fine.

I've been washing cheap, shitty bamboo cutting boards in my dishwasher for years and they haven't even warped, let alone cracked or broken. They haven't picked up any weird flavors or odors, and they're just as clean as if you wash them by hand if not better.

Or you could just not be a pussy and wash everything by hand, too. I do that with my nice cutting board and my bread board.

>>14663827 here
that's an old mitch hedberg line I love. but really nothing does potatoes like a microwave. maybe some people are real master-chefs and don't mind all the workarounds, but my philosophy is that if it's 10% less convenient it'll happen 50% less often, and I've known some people to have a much much much higher takeout-intake because even though they very much can cook when they apply themselves, having to apply themselves just so they can eat makes "being lazy" significantly more appealing. Most things DO taste better prepared otherwise, but there's so many things that become effortless with one. Bacon is great in the microwave. Potatoes, mashed or baked. You'll eat more veggies if you can toss a frozen steaminbag in the box and press a button. Instant side-dish. Leftovers, and zapping stuff that went cold. There's no pride to be taken in snubbing a microwave, it's such a performative and hollow attitude to take, I want it scrubbed from the Earth.
